The CNSC is an invitational tournament of fixed size, so holding a place and then withdrawing can lead to a situation where the player who should have replaced you cannot make travel arrangements in time. You should therefore only register to play if you are sure that you can compete.

== Format of 2016 CNSC Finals ==

Details have not yet been finalised.

<!--

−

The top two finishers in the preliminary round will earn berths in the best-of-five CNSC finals which will be held on Monday, June 18. The first player to win three games will be declared the CNSC champion for 2018.

−

−

The player who finishes first in the preliminary round will go first in games 1, 3, and 5 of the finals. The player who finishes second in the preliminary round will go first in games 2 and 4.

−

−

Any tie games will be considered, as is usual in NASPA tournament competition, a half game won and a half game lost for both players. If each player has 2.5 wins after five games, the player who has the superior point spread in the finals will be declared the winner. If both players have identical points spreads, a sixth game will be played with the player who went first in games 2 and 4 also going first in game 6.

: Players must bring their own boards, but may if travelling from outside of the greater Toronto area arrange to borrow a local player&rsquo;s board. If neither player in a scheduled game has a board, both may forfeit their game.

−

; Racks

−

: Racks will be provided at this event; players may choose to use their own racks instead.

−

; Tiles

−

: All players will be given a set of 2018 CNSC Protiles at registration. Please check their distribution carefully before playing your first game; as per NASPA rules, no changes may be made once a game has begun. Games must be played using CNSC Protiles, but players may bring and play with Protiles from past CNSC events if they wish (and are encouraged to do so to avoid having to play with two sets of the same colour at the same table).

−

; Tile Bags

−

: NASPA tile bags will be available; players may use these or their own. If using their own, the provided tile bag should stay at its table.

−

: Players are requested to bring their own digital game timers. A limited number of timers will be available on a first-come basis; if neither player in a game can find a clock, both may forfeit the game.

−

; Scoresheets

−

: A limited number of standard NASPA scoresheets will be available for player use, as well as plentiful supplies of blank paper.

−

; Pens/Pencils

−

: A limited number of writing implements will be available for player use, but we strongly recommend that players bring their own.
